肯代尔大学酒店管理学院学生Savannah McMeekin的蓝山交换之旅
肯代尔大学（Kendall College）酒店管理学院学生Savannah McMeekin（酒店/住宿管理专业）分享了她在澳大利亚蓝山国际酒店管理学院（Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School）的海外学习体验。
“关于酒店行业我最喜欢的一点就是环球旅行的机会。”Savannah分享道，“我甚至都还没有完成自己在肯代尔大学的学位学习，就能够在澳洲旅行和学习了。我也非常喜欢拥有与来自世界各地的人士打交道、体验新文化和新生活方式的机会。”
周末去悉尼游玩、去邦迪海滩（Bondi beach）放松是我在澳洲最喜欢做的事情之一，Savannah在蓝山学习的是酒店管理专业。像肯代尔大学一样，蓝山是罗瑞特国际大学网络（Laureate International Universities）的一员，罗瑞特是一个拥有70多所受认证的校园和网络院校的全球教育网络，为全世界超过78万名学生提供本科和硕士课程。
在蓝山我最喜欢的课程是行业实习(IP201)。在这门课程中我们会学习如何恰当地构建求职信和简历，如何正确地进行面试，以及在行业当中工作应该期待什么。Savannah表示：“肯代尔为我提供了在酒店行业中获得成功所必需的课程学习。蓝山专注于将学生沉浸在酒店的工作氛围当中，我感觉自己已经准备好直接进入行业之中工作。”
“我真的非常享受在蓝山的‘实践’课程。学生也正因为如此才成为学校日常工作当中必不可少的一部分。我们在厨房里为所有的学生和员工做饭，在校园餐厅或咖啡厅里充当服务员，在酒吧和咖啡台之后工作。这门课程也为我们提供了客房、前台接待和礼宾的工作经验。”
Savannah有“很多建议”想要和每一个想要去澳洲旅游或留学的人分享，包括：
• 多存点钱！澳洲的物价非常高，（想想一杯咖啡就7澳元）。“我建议开一个当地的银行账户避免国际手续费。”
• 办一个当地的手机号——更方便更划算。别忘了准备一个配适器。
• 尽可能多地四处逛逛。
• 悉尼是一个热门旅游景点，如悉尼歌剧院（Opera house）、海港大桥（Harbor Bridge），以及无数的餐厅和商店。
• “邦迪海滩也是我其中最喜欢的地方之一；它是一周忙碌过后的最佳放松之地。”
• 如有可能，去昆士兰州的黄金海岸（Gold Coast）转转吧。“它比悉尼更加让人放松，拥有很多很棒的海滩，也更便宜。”
• 在中央车站（Central Station）附近的Market City市场购买纪念品。“你能够以在观光购物商店一半的价格买到很棒的纪念品！”

From Downtown Chicago to Down Under: Study Abroad in Australia
School of Hospitality Management student Savannah McMeekin (Hotel/Lodging Management) shares her study abroad experience at Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School in Australia.
“My favorite thing about the hospitality industry is the opportunity it gives you to travel the world,” shared Savannah. “I haven’t even finished my degree at Kendall College yet and already I’ve been able to travel and study in Australia. I also love the chance to meet people from all over the world and experience new cultures and ways of life.”
While traveling to Sydney and to Bondi beach on the weekends were one of her favorite things to do in Australia, Savannah was there tostudy Hospitality at Blue Mountains. Like Kendall College, Blue Mountains is a member of Laureate International Universities, a global network of more than 70 accredited campus-based and online universities offering undergraduate and graduate degree programs to more than 780,000 students around the world.
“ My favorite class at Blue Mountains was Industry Placement (IP201). In this class we learned the proper way to construct a cover letter and resume, the appropriate way to interview and what to expect while working in the industry,” says Savannah. “Kendall prepared me by providing classes that are essential to the success in hospitality. Blue Mountains focuses on immersing students in the workings of a hotel, I felt prepared and ready to jump right in the industry. ”
“I really did enjoy the “practical” class at Blue Mountains. This is where students become a part of the daily workings of the school. We cook in the kitchen for all students and staff, become servers in the café or restaurant on campus and also working behind the bar and coffee station. This course also provides us with the experience of housekeeping, front desk agents and concierge.”
Savannah has “lots of advice” for anyone wishing to visit Australia or study abroad, including:
• Save up! Australia is very expensive, (think $7 for a coffee). “I recommend opening a local bank account to avoid international fees.”
• Get a local cell phone – it’s more convenient and less expensive. And, don’t forget an adapter!
• Travel around as much as you can.
• Sydney is a popular spot with the Opera house and the Harbor Bridge and there are a variety of restaurants and shops.
• “Bondi Beach is also one of my favorite places; it’s a perfect place to relax after a busy week.”
• If you can, take a trip up to the Gold Coast in Queensland. “It is more relaxed than Sydney, has a lot of great beaches, and is a bit cheaper too.”
• Go shopping for souvenirs at Market City near Central Station. “You can find great items like the ones sold in tourist shops, but for half the price!”
